Hi Tanton
Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested, but i get no luck. So far
i'm about 1/4 of the way through the file just doing it manually. Do you
ahve any other suggestion?
A sample from the file looks like this:
while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) );^M
$db->sql_freeresult($result);^M^M $total_threads =
count($threadrow);^M }^M else^M {^M
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['No_posts_topic']);^M }^M}^M// END
THREADED MOD CODE^M^M^M# ^M#-
Thanks
Desmond
